TRICK OF "TICKLING" TROUT.
A Process Well known Among
the DOys of Ireland.


81 was astonished to learn by Mr..
Thorndyke's statement that the bears
on the shores of Carbon river, at the
base Of the precipitous Mount Tacoma,
have mastered the process of catching
Il 9 hook nosed salmon by the art Of
tickling" said gentleman who was
born on the Emerald isle, and is proud
of it. 81 wonder whether the bows
in Ireland taught it to them or learned
!. ~ .nemY know when I was a
yotingster we Irish lads carried on the
sport to a extent that led the game
keepers to suspect that there were
mere and shrewder poachers in that
part It the country than had ever.been
bounded out of it (; but they never sus-
pected that the ragged, barefooted boy
who whistled as he plucked the black
berries from the hedges, and would have
been as familiar with the mariners
compass, had it been placed before
him, as with trout rod, creek reel
line and cast of flies, was one of the
licenseless culprits who caused the
scarcity Of trout.
"Yet 80 it was. When the keeper
was well out of sight the small boy
would throw away the blackberries
which he had collected but did not
care to eat, and knowing by long ex-
perience where the big speckled fel-
lCws loved to lurk. he would dart to a
deep, still spot, well shaded, and
where the bank overhung the water.
Then crawling to the edge he would
look cautiously over. If a trout was
basking near the surface, the dirty
little hand, making no perceptible rip
pie in the stream, so carefully was it
put in, was soon under it. The fingers
were then raised, until with almost
incredible gentleness their points
touched the trout's stomach, when
slight oscillation was commenced.
This was the tickling" part of the
maneuver. The boys thought the
trout enjoyed it, but perhaps they sup
posed that it was only the weeds softly |
brushing them. Anyhow, it rarely dis |
turbed them, and the hand gradually
assumed surer position, until, with |
dextrous movement, swift as the |
lightning fash, the fish was cast out |
of the water, generally on the orpo-
site bank. The probability is that the |
trout SO captured is asleep, and though |
its eyes are, Of course, open, it can see |
nothing.
II have often caught two dozen fine |
trout in day after this fashion, and |
all the time kept bright lookout that !
/ was not caught myself; and while I
was tickling them l was carefully |
avoiding sportsmen who, not far |
away, were fruitlessly whipping the
stream.
"The bear seems to capture his
prey, as it were, by main strength.
He just puts his claw under the fish
and casts it out. The hook-nosed sal
mon must be stupid fellow to be so
easily taken. The Irish boy has to be
more artistic, SO perhaps he taught
the mode of fishing to the bears. p

We heartily endorse the above,

Evolution.

The doctrine of evolution has been
for some time and is now agitatlng
the public mind aud we see IRON the
Landmark that the Rev /. II. Law,
agent Of the American Bible Society,
for North and South Carolina has
dropped into the doctrine as believed
by DR.. Woodrow.
. In viewing this matter carefully
and not intending u discuss il at all
or, even TO give and opinion one wa,
or the other, we simply ask, what does
it all amount to any way! II man de,
seconded from the lower animals does
it make his condition any worse? Does
any sane man deny that God created
the world2 We inknot, then what
difference il it whether he made the
world in six days tr six years, he
made it that is sufficient; butas to the
creation OF man why not take the plain
word of Cod AZ true, hear it: sand
God said. let US make man in our own
image, after our likeness; and let him
have dominion over the fish Of the
sea, aud over the fowls OF the air, and
over the cattle, and over all the earth,
and every creeping thing that cree
peth the earth.
So God created man in his OWL
image, in the image of man created he
him"
To say the least Of it, the doctrine
of evolution is spirit OF skepticism
contrary to the word IF God and the
true faith.

Powderly against Blaine.

We see from the New York Star"
Of the 28th inst, that Mr.. Terence v.

man 81 the Knights Of Labor will not
continue in his present Office, but will
decline re election and take the stump
in the State OF New York in case NJ.
Blaine 10 the nominee for the Presi.
dency by the Republican party.
It seems that this has been Mr..
Powderly's fixed purpose for more
than a year past Mr P. regards Mr.
Blaine's views on the Tariff as deiri-
mental to the interest Of the working
man, that while it projects the manu-
tacturer. consequently the capitalist
ID affords no protection whatever to
the laborerj and HE purpose is to ar
ray the laboring man and Knights Of
Labor to defeat Mr.. Blaine.
Mr. Powderly is eminently correct
thers. Mr.. Blaine has to represent a
very large class Of capitalist in New
England, besides he is a capitalist aud
manufacturer himself, and it is but
natural TO suppose that he will lo"E
we'll 10 the interest Of his rich Friends
and bis own, rather than TO the int
rest Of the poor laboring man.
But II will not be forgotten that thu
labores has the right to vote, and u b.

Ho! For Missouri.

We see from the Telegraph that
many years ago a man by the name
of Miller bought large body of land
from the Imn Mountain Railroad
which he occupied for long time
without molestation. The Rail road
without assigning any reason tried to
get clear of Miller. Miller wrote to
Presiden, Cleveland giving bin full
PARTICULARS as to how he came into
the possession of the land. In DUE
time the President answered his let.
ter telling Miller to hold to the land
at oil hazards, telling him further.
that the Railroad had forfeited their
claims to the land by reason of iheir
failure to comply with contracts with
the government and all these lands
belonged to the government and free
to all bone fde settlers. 20,
Since then there has been a mighty
rush of people to South Western Mis-
souri, aud settling on the finest land
in the State. Now is the time to 60
good homes in Missouri ct govern
Inent prices, but you had better stay
here. There is no plaGs in the world
like the old North State.
Query. II Blaine had been Presi
dent would these rich lands have evel
been opened to settlers at govern
ment prices?

Increase Of Crime.

We see from that very excellent
journal 1.-THE Home" published at
Plttsboro. commenting upon the III
crease Of crime in the u. s., this
statement. "Viewed in its most ia
yorable light the subject is most &C.
rious one. The cause ought to be
sought out and the remedy applied.
From other statistics we are led to be.
lieve that the foreign born element OF
our population is the most important
factor 10 the increase of crime. In
1880 this element made up thirteen
per cent Of the entire population and
furnished forty-three per cent OF in
mates OF prisons and houses OF correc
ton. Besides this, great many 9th,
er evils come directly from the foreign
element of our population. Aliens
are responsible for the growth oil So
cialism in our cities.
In the light OF these facts it be-
comes apparent that the best interest
OF the nation would be served by ex-
GLIDING foreigners from our shores.'
This is right We agree with you broth
er Merritt. Yet in the same issue we
see taken from some other paper, o
glowing account OF the gooJ work Of
the missionaries in the dark land OF
Africa, that many stations and schools
are being established, that thousands
and thousands of the be nighted ma
tives are being converted to christi
anity and the good work goes bravely
on &c. &c. Well, this is all true, bnt
how does it look? To us it seems that
the heather lands are being convert
ed to Christianity and the Christian
lands are retrograding to heathenism.
The "IIome" suggests remedy but it
does not go quite far enough. Let us
all redoub!e cur efforts and give more
literally through our churches to the
cause of foreign missions, that the
gospel may reach every home in the
heather lands. Then let the United
States shut down the food gates to
immigration, or better perhaps require
a capitatien tax sufficient to exclude
from our shores pauperism, socialism
and all other ''isms" the bane and
curse of society and the cause of sc
much crime in the United States.
